Shower Floor


Every night I sit on the shower floor

I turn on the water

And over my body I let it pour

 

Every night I sit on the shower floor

I turn music up

and I lock the bathroom door

 

Every night I sit on the shower floor

I try not to think

About the notes and pictures in the drawer

 

Every night I sit on the shower floor

Our love made me rich

But without you I’m poor.

 

Every night I sit on the shower floor

I try not to cry, I try not to shake

But my strength is gone and my heart is too sore.

 

Every night I sit on the shower floor

But I don’t know how to live

Knowing you aren’t there anymore

 

Every night I sit on the shower floor

I stare up at the sharp cold silver

Wondering what it would be like to watch my blood pour.

 

Every night I sit on the shower floor

Slice after slice it’ll never be enough

Because you’ve already cut me down to the core.

 

 

Tonight I’ll sit on the shower floor

I’ll turn on the water

and over my lifeless body it will pour.
